Hello all:
Is there anyone on this forum that lives in Brooklyn, NY or thereabouts who would have a garage or would be willing to share / rent a garage?
After 2.5 years being away from NYC, it is about 99% that moving back home to Brooklyn in about two months. My bike (PS1000LE) will be safe here in MD at friends garage for a few months, till April or so. I refuse to sell or get rid of my bike, and even willing to pay NYC insurance premiums...
So, back to my question... I am actually looking for someone to share /rent a garage with. I knew of a few people in B'klyn who would rent a garage on Coney Island avenue (by Prospect park, also there used to be garages by Dunkin' Dog-nuts on CI ave, etc...) and share a garage with 3 or 4 other bikers. Unfortunately, I have all but lost all contact with these guys cuz some of them do not ride anymore ($3000 insurance premiums), some just moved out of NYC, etc... So i am looking for more connections.
Hopefully there are some around this forum.
Cheers.
Eugene
are you looking for a place to keep the bike temp, or a permanent parking spot?
Permanent actually. As a garaging solution.
I refuse parking on a street, obviously. I maybe able to payoff the building super to park the bike behind the building for the night, but its only a band-aid solution.
Cheers.
where do you live? and how far can you be from the garage?
Finally getting some replies! Nice!
I am still in MD, I am shopping Real Estates right now and i have a few leads, but chances are when i move back here, I'll be in Midwood or Shipsheadbay in Brooklyn. I used to live in Midwood on E14th and Ave. P. This is the same general area I'd like to be in.
As far as how far i would be willing to be away from the bike?... don't know really.. it all depends, man. What have you got in mind?
Cheers!
My friend has a garage near the Brooklyn Navy Yard. His name is Victor and it is a bike friendly place. You can call him at 718-909-4449 I think it's about $150 for bikes, but better to call and ask.

Cool man ill definitely check it out! Thanks!
my dad is in the real estate buisness, and he just picked up a local property near my garage. closing isnt until February though. but its a parking lot that can hold 7 cars. its not indoors, and there's no security. its gated off though. And i leave my bike outside from time to time on that same block ( i live on it). nice neighborhood. but its a bit away from sheepshead or midwood. you could litterally walk to it from parkslope though.
not sure if that would help. i can ask my dad if hes cool with bikes there. I know a few people who has sheds. so that might be an option for you.
anyway, if you cant find nothing else. ill ask my pops.
Hey Man,
not sure if you are interested in parking in a garage with other bikers in downtown manhattan, 1 block from the fulton street subway station.
its my new garage...monthly spots only with shelving and a lift to wrench on your own bike.
check it out.
